Hi Kirk,

Yes, I did talk to Rob. He was the one that directed me to the QPDF Draw Text 
command and the embedded possibilities. I was thinking the same as you—that it 
should be possible, but a lot of code. That’s why I was asking if anyone had 
already tackled it. I’d be willing to trade some code with anyone who had done 
this.

Thanks.
